Recording user actions

[MisterX]

Following this undo madness...

You can use a card script that records mousedown events,
put them in an array using the seconds as array key and
save that. The target, or shape type, it's position is 
also easy to save. To transfer the information you can 
either create a blank stack with the array as a custom
property or create an xml or readeable output to read
for the replay.

Filter the "mouse" keywords in the revdocs to see the
possibilities. Drag is also possible...

As to the best method for event polling... i'll leave that
to others - i usually rely on mousedown, repeat while
mouse is down, mouseleave... and the target in a card
script.

cheers
